Meet Dr. Vivian Tran

A Southern California native, Dr. Vivian Tran has made Los Angeles her home for the past 15 years. She puts her patients first, prioritizing attentive care, earning trust, and building long-lasting relationships.

Our patients love us!

Compassionate, personalized care is our priority. We're always so appreciative when our patients tell us that we've hit that high mark.

I’ve been going to Dr. Tran for years, and she’s fantastic every time. She’s taken care of my cleanings and even fixed a chipped tooth so well that you’d never even know it was broken. She has the best bedside manner—always warm and friendly, explaining everything as she goes, and checking in to make sure I’m comfortable. She’s thorough and genuinely cares about her patients. Plus, her office is always spotless, and appointments are quick and seamless. I couldn’t ask for a better dentist.

Jenn V.

I’m so glad I found Dr. Tran. I’ve been anxious about dental work for years, and she has such a calm, kind demeanor and is always clear and professional with her explanations. It doesn’t feel like she’s trying to upsell any unnecessary work, as I’ve experienced at other dental offices. So happy I found a dentist I can trust—highly recommend!

Den L.

My visit here was great from beginning to end! The cleaning was super gentle, and I didn’t feel any pain at all. Dr. Tran was so nice and skilled. She made me feel completely comfortable, and it was easy to talk to her and ask her questions.

Diana D.

Highly recommend Dr. Tran and Sawtelle Smiles Dental, a woman-owned, local practice! Dr. Tran is warm, professional, and has a gentle hand. I truly had one of the best and most comfortable dental cleanings in her office; she was thorough and detail oriented, checking in repeatedly about my comfort, using topical numbing for more sensitive areas and moisturizer for my lips during the cleaning, and providing helpful guidance about dental care and flossing for problem areas. Dr. Tran is honest and does not upsell unnecessary services.

Liam R.

Everyone here is so kind and professional. Front desk seems so happy to welcome people in and Dr. Tran always takes time to ask how I’m doing and answer all my questions. Stellar service, would recommend to anyone in the LA area looking for a new dentist, they are truly worth the drive!

Angela K.

So excited Dr. Tran has opened her new practice! I’ve always been anxious about going to the dentist until I met Dr. Tran. Super down to earth and makes each visit stress free! Highly recommend her for all your dental needs.

Riley D.

I’ve been Dr. Tran’s patient for the past 6 years and I’m so happy that she’s opened up her own practice. She’s always been so warm and thorough that I will happily drive an extra hour to see her.

The reason I love Dr. Tran is that she just makes you feel comfortable and genuinely cares about you, your family and your dental health. She is honest and gentle with your teeth. Great dental office with an amazing staff and dentist!
